Chapter 2055: On the Verge
“Bullsh*t!”
The Cloud Dragon Emperor sneered, “Initially, you were the leader of the Emperors of Tianhuang Mainland. The major sects and factions were led by your Immortal Martial Sect and even Heavenly Secrets Palace was only second. When has Tianhuang Mainland not accommodated you?! How did we force you?”
The Cloud Dragon Emperor was not the only one. Even the other Emperors and Patriarchs were puzzled and did not know why Luo Ao said that.
Only the storyteller frowned slightly, as though he recalled something.
“Fufu, you’ve forgotten so quickly?”
Luo Ao sneered at the Cloud Dragon Emperor and the others.
The storyteller asked slowly, “You’re referring to the matter of you wanting to be conferred the Martial Emperor title back then?”
Back when Luo Ao was conferred the title of Emperor, he wanted to be conferred the title of the Martial Emperor. However, he was stopped by the storyteller, the Cloud Dragon Emperor and the others.
Although Luo Ao was the most dazzling paragon and monster incarnate after the Eternal Martial Emperor Era, he was far inferior to the Martial Emperor in terms of experience and combat strength.
Thereafter, Luo Ao held martial arts and Dao discussions, attracting many Martial Dao practitioners of Tianhuang Mainland to follow him. Immortal Martial Sect grew stronger by the day.
As for Luo Ao, his cultivation of the Immortal and Martial Daos advanced as well. Before long, he comprehended six supreme divine powers!
His combat strength was comparable to the Human Emperor.
Luo Ao took the initiative to mention once more that he wanted to be conferred the title of the Martial Emperor.
At that moment, no one in Tianhuang Mainland was his match in terms of combat strength.
However, when the Emperors gathered, almost no one agreed to this matter. Even the primordial races that had a blood feud with the Martial Emperor did not agree to this matter and the Emperors still dissuaded Luo Ao from giving up on the title of Martial Emperor.
In everyone’s hearts, there was only a single Martial Emperor in Tianhuang Mainland—Su Zimo.
Although Luo Ao’s later accomplishments were great, it was difficult for him to take on the title of the Martial Emperor.
At that time, Luo Ao and the Emperors parted on bad terms.
Now that the storyteller was bringing up the past, the Emperors were slightly stunned. Could it be because of this that Luo Ao actually allowed a predator into Tianhuang Mainland to massacre the masses?
“I can’t even get my hands on the title of the Martial Emperor and yet you claim that I’m the leader?”
Luo Ao sneered.
The Blue Dragon Emperor cursed, “What a lunatic. You’re going to betray Tianhuang Mainland and the human race just because you’re not allowed to be the Martial Emperor?”
“I’m not a human to begin with, so how can I betray you?”
Luo Ao said indifferently, “Half of the God race’s blood flows through my body! However, none of you know about it.”
The Emperors were shocked.
This fact of Luo Ao had actually been hidden from everyone!
With that, it was easy to understand why Luo Ao could rise in Tianhuang Mainland in such a short period of time and become an Emperor.
“I don’t have any prejudice towards the human race or the God race. I grew up in Tianhuang Mainland and in the depths of my heart, my feelings for Tianhuang Mainland are even deeper,”
Luo Ao shook his head. “However, I’m way too disappointed that you guys stopped me from being conferred the title of the Martial Emperor twice. You guys were the ones who pushed me towards the God race. The calamity of Tianhuang Mainland today was all because of you guys!”
“Haha!”
Little Fatty sneered, “What a joke. You broke off ties with Tianhuang Mainland and abandoned the masses just because of a title. That proves that our actions back then were not wrong!”
“You’re not worthy of the title of the Martial Emperor!”
Luo Ao glared at Little Fatty and said coldly, “Whether I’m worthy or not is not decided by you! Half of the Martial Dao experts in Tianhuang Mainland are under my lead. Once you guys die, I’ll be the Martial Emperor!”
“Where are the others from Immortal Martial Sect?”
Although the storyteller had already guessed it, he could not help but ask, “Where’s the Nether Emperor, Dragon Martial Emperor, Zhuxia Emperor and the others?”
Including Luo Ao, there were a total of ten Emperors in Immortal Martial Sect.
But now, there were only six left behind Luo Ao.
When the six Emperors of Immortal Martial Sect heard that, their expressions dimmed and they lowered their heads.
Luo Ao smiled and said casually, “I gathered all the cultivators of Immortal Martial Sect in the Immortal Martial Palace.”
“The Immortal Martial Palace is my Destiny Dharmic treasure. Inside, I can kill all living beings within with a single thought!”
“Anyone who resisted me was buried in the Immortal Martial Palace.”
Many Martial Dao practitioners of Tianhuang Mainland were enraged when they heard that.
“Luo Ao, you cultivated the inheritance of the Martial Emperor but abandoned Tianhuang Mainland. You forgot your roots and massacred people of the Martial Dao wantonly. You’re truly inferior to pigs and dogs!”
A Martial Dao Patriarch could not help but stand out and curse.
“Mmm?”
Luo Ao’s gaze shifted to the Martial Dao Patriarch.
“Watch out!”
The Cloud Dragon Emperor and the others hurriedly reminded, but it was too late.
The glabella of the Martial Dao Patriarch was pierced by Luo Ao’s gaze and his Essence Spirit was destroyed, dying on the spot!
Luo Ao’s attack came without any warning and the Cloud Dragon Emperor and the others could not save him in time.
“Luo Ao, there are millions of Martial Dao practitioners in Tianhuang Mainland. Can you kill all of them?!”
“Luo Ao, you’ve forgotten your roots and are inferior to pigs and dogs. You’re not even worthy of carrying the Martial Emperor’s shoes!”
Not only did Luo Ao’s killing power fail to intimidate the cultivators of Tianhuang Mainland, more and more Martial Dao practitioners stood out and shouted.
Instantly, the Tianhuang Mainland army was worked up and their shouts shook the skies, waiting for the Emperors of Tianhuang Mainland to give the order.
“You only have two options. Submit or die!”
Luo Ao looked at the Emperors of Tianhuang Mainland and shook his head gently with a disdainful expression. “Who among you is a match for me? Furthermore, there’s the God race army behind me!”
The Emperors knew that Tianhuang Mainland was most likely doomed for this battle as well.
However, how could everyone from Tianhuang Mainland submit without a fight?!
The Emperors looked at Immortal Martial Sect behind Luo Ao.
If they could convince those cultivators of Immortal Martial Sect to stand on the side of Tianhuang Mainland, they might stand a chance!
However, the remaining Martial Dao practitioners of Immortal Martial Sect were either indebted to Luo Ao or fearful of his methods. Who would dare to stand out?
The truly hot-blooded Immortal Martial Sect Martial Dao practitioners who did not fear death had already been killed by Luo Ao!
Leng Rou looked at the six Emperors of Immortal Martial Sect behind Luo Ao and the many Martial Dao experts of Immortal Martial Sect. “How many of you don’t have spirit roots and are able to cultivate and obtain your current achievements because the Martial Emperor established his Dao?”
Everyone from Immortal Martial Sect was silent.
The six Emperors averted their gazes and did not even dare to meet the gazes of those from Tianhuang Mainland.
Leng Rou continued, “As people of Tianhuang Mainland and have cultivated the Martial Dao, how can you guys help the evildoers without distinguishing between right and wrong?”
There was a stir in Immortal Martial Sect but it was not obvious.
Although many Martial Dao practitioners were shaken, no one dared to stand out against Luo Ao’s might.
The Peak Emperor of Immortal Martial Sect sighed. “I know that you’re right, but it’s all thanks to the Luo Emperor’s guidance that I’m able to obtain my current accomplishments. I…”
The Peak Emperor lowered his head and could not continue.
His heart was in immense pain.
Another Crimson Emperor spoke with a dim expression, “It’s not that we don’t know what’s right or wrong, but the Luo Emperor saved my life back then…”
“Luo Ao, what are you waiting for?”
Right then, the young God race Emperor led the God race army and sped over with a torrential aura!
At that moment, eight Emperors of the God race had already arrived in Tianhuang Mainland!
Luo Ao looked at the people from Tianhuang Mainland opposite him with a cold expression. He raised his palm slowly and was prepared to give the order.
The battle was on the verge!
